00:00.17 | Xho | As neutral as they are, maintaining such an alliance is impossible in the long run |
00:01.21 | Charles_Bot | How do you mean? |
00:01.42 | Xho | If a conflict arises out of the tensions of the Kicath in Mirus it might force the Kicath to sever ties with the Cyrannian Empire |
00:02.26 | Xho | Something they will consider detrimental as to them will define the inevitability of Cyrannus warring against the Gigaquadrant |
00:02.47 | Xho | it will define* |
00:03.22 | Xho | If the Kicath can't use the Covenant as a method of keeping Cyrannus at an arm's reach because everyone's suspicious then their methods are folly |
00:05.27 | Xho | It's kind of already turned on them since some of Borealis appears to have pushed themselves away from the Kicath |
00:05.55 | Xho | And Mirus is wondering whether the Kicath are gonna use this Covenant as an excuse to turf themselves in Mirus without being contested |
00:05.59 | OluapPlayer | What else did you expect hur |
00:06.02 | Charles_Bot | The French are similarly resentful of their participation in it |
00:06.05 | Xho | Not much really |
00:06.28 | Xho | By rational measure the Covenant won't last |
00:06.29 | Technobliterator | meanwhile, URO just sit back and smoke weed |
00:06.38 | Technobliterator | wondering wtf people are doing outside their own galaxies |
00:06.42 | OluapPlayer | That being said going to war with Mirus won't look good to the PCA's eyes |
00:06.49 | Charles_Bot | France - I don't have a galaxy |
00:06.52 | Hachiman | Nobody cares about Mirus tho |
00:06.56 | Hachiman | its catfaic galaxy |
00:07.06 | Xho | Unfortunately the Covenant was a facade on the discussion between two deities and the threat of metaphysical annihilation |
00:07.09 | Charles_Bot | France - I care :( |
00:07.13 | Xho | No one actually got that message, not even the Kicath |
00:07.33 | Xho | So it looked like a betrayal of political stability |
00:08.00 | Charles_Bot | I thought they had disavowed it? |
00:08.09 | Monet | Or maybe it was Aeresius who didn't quite get the Kicath's intentions. |
00:08.14 | OluapPlayer | Koluap - do it like old koluap shoot gun at head and stop existing |
00:08.30 | Technobliterator | I responded 8D |
00:08.33 | Xho | They showed their discontent but there was no formal move to dissolve it |
00:08.45 | OluapPlayer | bet its somethin dum |
00:08.46 | OluapPlayer | dumba |
00:08.59 | Xho | They don't really want to experience any consequences Cyrannus might throw upon them |
00:09.16 | Monet | This is why alliances are good. |
00:09.40 | Xho | Despite the fact they're well equipped to stand against Cyrannus |
00:10.06 | Charles_Bot | France - Link arms with us |
00:10.10 | Xho | So yeah by the looks of it the Covenant is going to collapse |
00:10.11 | Monet | The Empire has much of the Gigaquadrant stacked against it. |
00:10.52 | Monet | Any act of retribution on the Empire's part will make heroes out of the Kicath. |
00:11.27 | Charles_Bot | And also likely see a broad international surge to their defense |
00:11.39 | Xho | I would imagine the Kicath would conclude the Empire as a threat due to the lack of common allies |
00:11.59 | OluapPlayer | Cyrannian has plans for the Empire. I recommend waiting before doing any sudden moves |
00:12.23 | Xho | It will probably happen further down the line during the conflict in Mirus |
00:12.26 | Xho | As for Mirus, well |
00:12.39 | Xho | As long as the Mendel Pact don't go attacking the Kicath nothing will happen |
00:13.11 | Xho | If they do, well as I said it will take a lot of negotiation to deter the Kicath from retaliating |
00:13.13 | Wormy_ | Always thought this was a good DCP theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-o_pqYznsU |
00:13.38 | OluapPlayer | When in doubt, Corruptus invasion |
00:13.39 | Xho | splendid |
00:13.48 | OluapPlayer | stop fite or all dai |
00:13.51 | Charles_Bot | If they attack the Kicath, the Covenant can lay back and go "They started it, not our problem." |
00:13.59 | Xho | Kicath - hoh |
00:14.02 | Charles_Bot | Covenant of Mirus that is |
00:14.30 | Xho | Although I imagine Xonexi will want to impose rules upon the Kicath in order to preserve the moral high ground |
00:14.39 | Xho | Otherwise the Kicath will go out of their way to end them |
00:14.53 | Monet | Well if the Kicath are doubtful enough, they can approach the Empire and go "this really isn't working out, we want to rescind the proposal" The consequences (if any) are Cyrannian's consideration. |
00:15.44 | Xho | I'd doubt the Empire would retailate, the Kicath are falling back upon the rest of the Gigaquadrant's good graces |
00:16.13 | Xho | retaliate |
00:16.16 | Charles_Bot | If the Kicath go for punitory concessions, it's likely nobody would really mind given that the Mendel would have asked for it. But if the Kicath go full genocidal, or try to completely and totally transform the territorial status quo, then there would be serious problems |
00:16.26 | OluapPlayer | Not Borealis' |
00:16.37 | Xho | Kicath - mirus started it |
00:17.16 | Charles_Bot | France - Mirus prickled your pride |
00:17.36 | Charles_Bot | France - That isn't grounds for genocide |
00:17.37 | Xho | Kicath - prickled our pride burn the galaxy or some of it |
00:17.55 | Charles_Bot | France - non |
00:18.03 | Xho | In honesty a full genocide mode Kicath is unlikely at this point |
00:18.22 | Xho | As much as the Kicath would like to they won't |
00:18.47 | Hachiman | Decimation however |
00:18.57 | OluapPlayer | u also can't kill nothin unless the mirus folks allow u to |
00:18.59 | OluapPlayer | know ur place bich |
00:19.01 | Xho | eh well when live gives you superdreadnoughts |
00:19.29 | Monet | Well the Mirus guys do like their ultraviolence. |
00:19.37 | Charles_Bot | Scrap them and build something more useful :3 |
00:19.53 | Charles_Bot | (Jk) |
00:20.03 | Xho | It depends on if Mirus can size the Kicath up, which they can |
00:20.27 | Xho | Especially the Kicath's Mirusian fleet which is small in comparison to Milky Way or Andromeda |
00:21.07 | Xho | Ultraviolence isn't the best option for the Kicath unless they deployed another fleet there |
00:21.13 | Xho | Which is strategically messy |
00:21.36 | Xho | So it will 99.9% end in talks |
00:22.32 | Xho | I would gather that the rest of Xonexi would settle the temper between the Kicath and Mirus, probably more to Mirus' benefit |
00:22.35 | Monet | Not bad odds |
00:23.02 | Xho | That 99.9% is including an attack from the Mendel Pact as well |
00:23.06 | Monet | Well the Kicath seem mainly interested in Mirus for security purposes. |
00:23.25 | Xho | They have no interest in Mirus' natives whatsoever |
00:23.35 | Xho | Except the Covenant |
00:23.41 | Monet | So the Mirusians have more concerns, what with their home galaxy under threat from outside forces. |
00:24.22 | Xho | To be honest it could play into Mirus' advantage if Xonexi could convince them that the Kicath could provide a very valuable system of protection |
00:25.08 | Monet | <PROTECTED> |
00:25.42 | Monet | When a deal heavily favours the interests of a single party, it ain't a good deal. |
00:25.51 | Xho | Kicath - wait a minute |
00:27.08 | Xho | Meanwhile in Borealis the Kicath are doing their best to not turn the galaxy against them, so all routes are pointing towards the breakdown of the Covenant |
00:27.18 | Tek0516 | Hm... My Spore seems to be glitched. |
00:27.29 | Monet | This is why I considered the covenant a deal with the devil |
00:27.44 | OluapPlayer | They happened to side with the PCA and the Indoc Collective's only enemy in the Gigaquadrant who isn't outright demonic |
00:27.58 | Xho | Kicath - seemed like a good idea at the time lol |
00:28.10 | Monet | Deals with the devil always do. |
00:28.16 | OluapPlayer | Dracogonarious - kicathian genophage now |
00:28.18 | NeonPanda | Magnus the Red: Only one eye, zero depth perception, probably hasn't fired a boltgun in over 10'000 years. Still BS7 |
00:28.24 | Monet | Then you realise the broader consequences. |
00:28.43 | Charles_Bot | Yeah, I agree with Monet's assessment |
00:29.30 | Monet | NeonPanda: Maybe he has depth perception with his only eye? |
00:29.38 | Charles_Bot | A Kicathian military presence in Mirus is kind of artificial -- they have no interests there, and if the galaxy were to go up in flames tomorrow the Kicath wouldn't really be affected |
00:29.45 | NeonPanda | Monet: That's not how it works XD |
00:29.52 | Xho | Kicath - yeah but we like big ships |
00:29.57 | Xho | That's more or less the reason |
00:30.22 | Monet | NeonPanda: He's a genetically engineered demigod. |
00:30.24 | Xho | The truth behind the Kicath's military in Mirus was foreshadowing a possible breakdown between the Empire and themselves |
00:30.38 | NeonPanda | yeah but depth perception works from the brain calculating based off two points of reference |
00:30.46 | NeonPanda | you can't actually perceive depth with one eye |
00:30.51 | Xho | Hence why their fleet in the Milky Way is colossal |
00:30.53 | Charles_Bot | You can have more big ships if you don't need to expend the incredible cost it takes to field an active supercarrier in a galaxy where you have few bases and little logistical reach? |
00:30.57 | Monet | WHat about one eye with two pupils? |
00:31.10 | OluapPlayer | Isn't that a daemon primarch? Surely he can grow a second eye somewhere on his body |
00:31.31 | Hachiman | OluapPlayer: Magnus is renowned for having one eye |
00:31.37 | Hachiman | As in, he's literally cyclopean in some depictions |
00:31.48 | OluapPlayer | His second eye is a purple Ork |
00:32.06 | Hachiman | kek |
00:32.15 | Monet | I prefer the depictions where his bad eye is either closed or covered over with skin. |
00:32.26 | Xho | Supercarriers aren't their biggest expense in most cases |
00:32.32 | Monet | THen again because he's a demon prince now, he can be a cyclops. |
00:32.33 | Xho | They'd be looking to plot an Installation in there |
00:32.40 | Xho | Which is basically a Super-supercarrier |
00:32.49 | Monet | Surely second biggest though. |
00:33.06 | Xho | Or the Kicath's answer to a Supercarrier I guess |
00:33.18 | Xho | Their Supercarriers are the Gigaquadrantic equivalent of... |
00:33.20 | Xho | minicarriers |
00:33.21 | Xho | I dunno |
00:33.34 | Xho | Similar expenses regardless |
00:34.21 | Xho | An Installation would grant them strong enough logistical grounding in Mirus, and a Supercarrier would come after it |
00:34.56 | Xho | Although that being said, Installations are ridiculously expensive |
00:35.25 | Xho | Mirus' fleet would take decades to build |
00:35.32 | Xho | Afterwards |
00:36.05 | Xho | All things considered their economy is not as strong as it could be at the moment |
00:36.07 | Charles_Bot | The whole advantage of supercarriers is that they can move, tho |
00:36.46 | Monet | These installations are really just really ,really big bases if I understand right. |
00:36.48 | Xho | Yes |
00:36.59 | Xho | Megaconstruct is the term I used |
00:37.35 | Xho | Strategically speaking the destruction of an Installation is damaging to say the least |
00:38.04 | Xho | Also a very good way to make the Kicath hunt you until you and everything that came before and after you are dead |
00:39.29 | Xho | Supercarriers are smaller, mobile versions and then Superdreadnoughts which are more or less the same size wise but are actually used to scare opponents |
00:39.59 | Xho | Maybe a little smaller |
00:41.01 | Xho | Well there's only one Superdreadnought that I have |
00:41.13 | Xho | http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/spore/images/0/0b/ApocryphaClassDreadnought.png/revision/latest?cb=20141029191259 This one |
00:41.47 | Monet | Lotsaguns |
00:42.01 | Xho | Well they weren't meant to be guns but alright |
00:42.18 | Monet | I imagine it carries plenty of planet-crackers. |
00:42.25 | Xho | Size wise I don't know how big an Installation is |
00:42.43 | Xho | If it's large enough to play host to Superdreadnoughts then it's pretty big |
00:44.26 | Xho | I might make a page on them tomorrow |
00:44.43 | Monet | I wondered if that ringworld in ANdromeda was one |
00:45.49 | Xho | Namuezan is...well |
00:45.59 | Xho | Namuezan is the top end of Kicathian architecture |
00:46.27 | Xho | Very sparse of course |
00:46.40 | Xho | Most of it is actually just wilderness |
00:47.09 | Xho | Mostly designed for cosmopolitan ventures than purely Kicathian due to the fact that very little of it is urban space |
00:47.37 | Monet | I wonder if it could be a more long-term project than how long you initially put it |
00:47.51 | Xho | Most probably |
00:47.54 | Monet | It seems like a structure where unless you had all the parts available would take decades. |
00:48.14 | Xho | It's a 10 year construction on that page |
00:48.27 | Xho | 20 is more feasible |
00:48.30 | Xho | 25 maybe |
00:48.53 | Xho | That means construction changed hands a bit |
00:49.00 | Monet | There might actually be a little difficulty in the artificial landscape, possibly. |
00:49.43 | Monet | Just for the sheer amount of rock and water you'll need. |
00:50.25 | Xho | huh true |
00:50.30 | Xho | Guess I'll leave out some details |
00:51.15 | Monet | There is another possibility: It could have taken longer, but the Kicath could have opened it up after a few years |
00:51.45 | Monet | At this point most of it could be framework but there are finished bits here and there open for use. |
00:52.35 | Monet | Much more efficient use of time, you get to open it sooner and any taxes taken from residents could support construction. |
00:52.36 | Xho | "THAT THING'S FULLY OPERATIONAL" |
00:52.59 | Hachiman | Technobliterator: oi you there/ |
00:53.01 | Hachiman | ? |
00:53.05 | Technobliterator | hihi |
00:53.47 | Hachiman | Would you say the PS4 has better exclusives than the Xbone? |
00:54.39 | Hachiman | Would you say the PS4 has better exclusives than the Xbone? |
00:54.49 | Technobliterator | I personally would yes, for two reasons |
00:55.12 | Technobliterator | Firstly, most Xbone exclusives can just be purchased on PC as well anyway (see: Gears of War 4, new Forza, very likely to be more) |
00:55.20 | Technobliterator | Secondly, Uncharted 4 |
00:55.46 | Technobliterator | Horizon: Zero Dawn also looks pretty great |
00:56.13 | Hachiman | Aye it does |
00:56.34 | Monet | There was a guy on Quora a few days ago who claimed Xbox One was better as MIcrosoft agreed to EA Access while Sony refused. |
00:56.35 | Hachiman | Do you own FFXV yet? |
00:56.58 | Technobliterator | I do indeed |
00:57.01 | Technobliterator | Been playing it for ages now |
00:57.02 | Technobliterator | love it |
00:57.31 | Hachiman | You enjoying it? I'm watching a walkthrough and it looks really good |
00:57.42 | Hachiman | You enjoying it? I'm watching a walkthrough and it looks really good |
00:57.43 | Hachiman | The characters are fairly interesting and I like how Noctis' edgy, moody attitude can be played for laughs |
00:58.32 | Technobliterator | it's awesome |
00:58.37 | Technobliterator | I really dig the combat system |
00:58.44 | Technobliterator | and there are millions of things to do |
00:58.54 | Technobliterator | I've been so busy with the sidequests I haven't even got that far in the main story |
00:59.05 | Hachiman | Oh yeah, it looks it |

01:01.35 | Hachiman | I still haven't watched the Kingsglaive anime though so I'd probably be missing stuff out from the story and characters |
01:05.54 | Technobliterator | Brotherhood is the anime, Kingsglaive is the film |
01:06.21 | Technobliterator | Kingsglaive only sets up a plot point that you find out about 25 minutes into the film, and other than that, is just a glorified trailer for the game |

01:17.32 | Hachiman | I cut out after saying I hadn't watched any of the animated stuff for FFXV thus far |
01:20.41 | Technobliterator | :V |
01:20.59 | Technobliterator | Brotherhood is the anime, which tells you about the relationship of the characters, it's worth watching to get to know them first |
01:21.25 | Technobliterator | Kingsglaive reveals plot points that you basically learn about in the game anyway, it's a fun but non-essential watch that is basically all action and no real substance |
01:21.32 | Hachiman | Ah right |
01:21.52 | Hachiman | I might check out Brotherhood and leave Kingsglaive for later then |
01:22.16 | Monet | Randomly thinking which Chaos god I might find myself being an aspirant of. Khorne might drive me mad the quickest, Nurgle no bloody way, Slaanesh mmmmayyybeee, Tzeentch also a probability. |
01:22.25 | Wormy_ | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/SporeWiki:Fiction_Universe/Universal_Discussion_Board#It_has_come_to_our_attention |
01:22.32 | Technobliterator | That would be smart, yeah |

01:23.14 | Technobliterator | Nice images :o |
01:23.23 | NeonPanda | Monet: y u no want santa nurgle's presents |
01:23.31 | Hachiman | Monet: Why not Nurgle? |
01:23.44 | Monet | Nurgle's nature repulses me. |
01:24.08 | Wormy_ | Imperios made the Lunarai one |
01:24.12 | Hachiman | Nurgle is the friendliest Chaos God; he wants to make sure you live a life free of pain and suffering and gives you gifts without asking for much in return |
01:24.22 | Monet | I don't care how friendly he is, to follow him is to enter a world where saying "I hope you get cancer" is a compliment. |
01:26.47 | Monet | Then again by that trail of thought to follow Slaanesh would warp my interests into...interesting ends. |
01:26.48 | Wormy_ | made some grammatical, form-matical, and spelling mistake foxes |
01:26.51 | Wormy_ | fixes |
01:27.36 | Hachiman | You do not like the friendly Chaos God who wants people to live a pain-free immortal life for almost nothing yet you'll consider the Chaos God that embodies rape and obsession and the Chaos God that embodies being a cheeky backstabbing fucking bastard who can't take a loss |
01:29.06 | Xho | I wouldn't necessarily want to follow a fat pustulating fuck |
01:29.20 | Monet | Tzeentch is not just treachery and deceit. |
01:29.27 | Xho | Just what kind of example is that for the children |
01:30.00 | Hachiman | Xho: He's like a giant Danny DeVito + Santa Claus |
01:30.04 | Xho | ew |
01:31.04 | Monet | Tzeench is also an entity of knowledge while Slaanesh enjoys beautiful and meaningful things, |
01:31.21 | Monet | I suppose we're both affected by our percpetions |
01:32.15 | Xho | skulls for the skull throne |
01:32.36 | Xho | One thing I don't get |
01:32.45 | Xho | Are the Chaos Gods consistent between Warhammer and 40K |
01:32.52 | Hachiman | Kinda |
01:34.56 | Hachiman | I much prefer WHFB's Khorne to WH40K's Khorne; Fantasy Khorne is a deity who represents War, Death, Courage, Rage, Strength and Hate, while 40K Khorne represents Blood, War and Murder |
01:35.15 | Xho | borkf for the borkf throne |
01:35.34 | Hachiman | Fantasy Khorne is more a Norse-style god of warriors while 40K Khorne is a god of psychopaths and serial killers |
01:37.11 | Monet | Slaanesh in 40K was born when an entire empire metaphorically fucked a new god into existence while in Fantasy Slaanesh was sort of always there. |
01:39.05 | Xho | So basically Slaanesh is the incarnation of an orgy |
01:39.23 | Monet | That's his/her/its most common domain |
01:40.14 | Monet | Slaanesh is "the prince of excess" - and their domain is basically any form of pleasure or enjoyment. |

01:42.35 | Monet | Generally more dedicated champions wil lgo really exotic |
01:43.08 | Monet | I could consider Hannibal Lecter a possible Slaaneshi cultist for his love of eating people in roast dinners and served with wine. |
01:43.23 | NeonPanda | and beans, don't forget the beans |
01:43.25 | Wormy_ | Oops sorry, I thought you had just joined |

01:44.24 | Xho | I don't like wine come to think of it |
01:44.32 | Hachiman | As I was saying before |
01:44.34 | Wormy_ | It probably has taken them a while to recover from GXS, and then to be kicked again by the Loron |
01:44.52 | Charles_Murray | Hahahaha, they were 'reawoken' by the Talva |
01:44.54 | Charles_Murray | Oh man |
01:45.01 | NeonPanda | time for round two with the frilled shark |
01:45.02 | Charles_Murray | That's going to hurt |
01:45.15 | Monet | ...actually I just remembered. While devoting oneself to Nurgle turns you into a walking sack of pus, Tzeentch sure does love his mutations. |
01:45.43 | NeonPanda | only choice you get with Tzeentch is "All of the Above" |
01:46.06 | Hachiman | Fantasy Khorne seems far more noble to me than 40K Khorne |
01:46.34 | NeonPanda | that's cos there's more noble in the fantasy world, and more psycho in the 40k world |
01:47.08 | Hachiman | 40K Khornates take "does not care from whence the blood flows" far more literally and carry almost none of the actual martial honour that Fantasy Khornates do |
01:48.42 | Hachiman | And it is said that while Fantasy Khorne also "does not care from whence the blood flows", it's more in reference to the fact he does not mind whether you are slaying your allies or enemies - not going for easy, vulnerable and defenceless targets to shed blood from like the World Eaters and other Khornate cultists do |
01:48.49 | Monet | This might be part of what turned me off about Warhammer Online |
01:49.39 | Monet | The Fantasy World may have many problems but at least humanity is in a fairly strong position and the only threat to the elves are the Dark Elves and too much chaos. |
01:50.07 | Hachiman | With Fantasy Khornates, if you're an unarmed partisan, at the very least you are left to be killed last |

13:39.28 | Monet | I woke up this morning with thoughts for the Black Inquisition. |
13:40.11 | Hachiman | Oh? |
13:45.16 | Monet | Mostly stuff I've already done. Did wonder about their relationships with the various corruptus demons |
14:08.03 | Monet | https://www.artstation.com/artist/turpedo I found the artist who made the Fel Kitty |
14:23.11 | OluapPlayer | Interesting |
14:25.40 | OluapPlayer | And what do you mean with relationship? |
14:26.07 | Monet | Any particular demons they work with |
14:26.50 | Monet | I recall the black inquisition has a working partnership with a number of ocularivs |
14:29.09 | OluapPlayer | You answered your own question there |
14:29.57 | Monet | I recall one chapter also had one of those machete-wielding demons walking about their fortress. |
14:34.51 | OluapPlayer | They do it with every mortal servant group, not just the Inquisition |
14:35.09 | OluapPlayer | They're the ones who ensure the mortals are doing their jobs and being obedient |
14:35.16 | OluapPlayer | Mortals serve demons, not the other way around |
14:35.34 | Monet | Yeah I was going to say. |
14:35.47 | Monet | I need food, my brain's running at 20% |
14:35.57 | OluapPlayer | u gon doi |
14:36.07 | OluapPlayer | Actually I need lunch too |

15:56.01 | ImpyDroid | For some fantasy faction like Talmyr |
15:56.10 | ImpyDroid | Heraldry is not hard |
15:56.21 | ImpyDroid | And not very human either |
15:56.36 | ImpyDroid | Some coats of arms can look very outlandish and show very odd things |

17:09.12 | OluapPlayer | Not strong enough though |
17:09.47 | ImpyDroid | Exactly, which is where Strom'kar comes in play |
17:10.09 | OluapPlayer | Yeah but there's more than just trolls there |
17:10.17 | ImpyDroid | The early parts are basically all troll |
17:10.26 | OluapPlayer | I'm not gonna travel all the way there just to get killed by mogu thx |

17:23.49 | ImpyDroid | Should I change it? |
17:23.50 | Hachiman | Nah |
17:24.43 | OluapPlayer | It isn't any weirder than Matheoward |
17:25.10 | ImpyDroid | Ah, the good old days when I gave Radeons retarded Warhammer names |
17:25.21 | ImpyDroid | Yeah probably going to keep it |
17:26.19 | ImpyDroid | Maybe Indricarron is the Radeon equivalent of a weird Biblical name like Jebediah |
17:27.06 | Xho | http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/spore/images/9/94/KRepMilitaryEmblem.png/revision/latest?cb=20161203172338 Military Emblem |
17:28.18 | ImpyDroid | Xho: I can totally see Kicath soldiers wearing that on their hats |
17:28.26 | Xho | hats |
17:28.29 | ImpyDroid | Having that |
17:28.31 | Xho | as if Kicath wear hats |
17:28.51 | ImpyDroid | What civilised sapient being would not wear a hat |
17:28.59 | Xho | Well |
17:29.04 | Xho | Have you see the Kicath's heads |
17:29.07 | Xho | Not hat-friendly |
17:29.27 | ImpyDroid | You just need a hat shaped for a longer head |
17:29.40 | Xho | That would just look weird |
17:29.48 | ImpyDroid | Anyway, well outside of a cockade on a cap it would look good as a badge |
17:29.58 | ImpyDroid | What kind of applications do you use for this? |
17:30.21 | Xho | It would serve as an emblem on their armour for one |
17:30.30 | ImpyDroid | Yeah that is what I meant |
17:30.37 | ImpyDroid | Any symbolism behind the emblem? |
17:30.42 | Xho | Not really |
17:30.49 | Xho | The Kicath aren't into symbolism |
17:31.16 | Xho | They let numbers and firepower do the symbolising for them |
17:32.11 | ImpyDroid | Well flags and emblems usually carry some symbolism |
17:32.24 | ImpyDroid | That or they just need to look striking to stand out |
17:32.48 | Xho | Kicath - does destroying a planet instantaneously count |
17:33.10 | ImpyDroid | Oh here is a random idea |
17:33.21 | ImpyDroid | You as a musician and amateur linguist can handle this |
17:33.25 | ImpyDroid | Make the Kicath anthem |
17:33.38 | Xho | >amateur linguist |
17:33.39 | Xho | ouch |
17:33.54 | Xho | Also I don't know why the Kicath would have an anthem |
17:34.05 | ImpyDroid | Well why not |
17:34.23 | Xho | Unlike 99% of the Gigaquadrant, symbolism and anthemic ideals are meaningless to them |
17:34.24 | ImpyDroid | They could have some sort of military march |
17:34.42 | ImpyDroid | I mean they do not march to silence do they |
17:35.09 | Xho | well |
17:35.11 | Xho | yes |
17:35.14 | ImpyDroid | as for amateur, what I mean is that you are not professionally educated in the sphere |
17:35.48 | Xho | A Kicath's argument would be "why march to a song when there's work to be done" |
17:36.14 | Xho | Also the concept of music doesn't exist to the Kicath either |
17:36.14 | ImpyDroid | Because drums help maintain rhythm |
17:36.16 | ImpyDroid | Duh |
17:36.17 | ImpyDroid | Oh |
17:36.25 | ImpyDroid | That explains things |
17:36.29 | Xho | Percussive rhythm does, melodies don't |
17:37.01 | ImpyDroid | Is it just me or Kicath are like the SporeWiki version of Vogons? |
17:37.05 | ImpyDroid | As in, very dull |
17:37.33 | Xho | That's pretty much it |
17:37.43 | Xho | Then again that's the human perception of dull |
17:38.02 | Xho | The Kicath view humans as needlessly complicated in their ceremonies |
17:38.20 | Xho | As well as being small and brittle |
17:38.30 | ImpyDroid | Huh, they are the opposite of Radeons in that regard |
17:39.00 | Xho | The Kicath do have visual arts although it's nothing in the way of complexity |
17:39.30 | Xho | Actually that doesn't make sense |
17:39.37 | Xho | Their visuals are extremely complicated |
17:39.39 | ImpyDroid | Monet: I wonder if the old Church of Spode and the old DI interacted |
17:40.27 | Monet | Most likely. |
17:41.05 | ImpyDroid | I can kind of see the Church and the DI clashing a few times during the Khaxvis era |
17:42.12 | DrodoEmpire | Xho: Well, I mean IRL militaries marched to music for centuries-- millenia even |
17:42.22 | Xho | That I am aware of |
17:42.25 | Xho | Kicath aren't humans |
17:42.39 | DrodoEmpire | And it still happens out of tradition, mostly |
17:42.40 | DrodoEmpire | That's not an argument |
17:42.41 | DrodoEmpire | :p |
17:42.50 | Xho | sets himself on fire out of protest |
17:42.54 | DrodoEmpire | I mean I can see why they may *abandon* it at some point |
17:43.11 | DrodoEmpire | But the principle of using instruments to coordinate troop movements is a universal unless they're telepaths |
17:43.14 | Hachiman | Kicath might not hold music in such significant regard as to associate it with their arms |
17:43.21 | Xho | Hachi gets it |
17:43.31 | Xho | Why play music when you can conquer space |
17:43.39 | Monet | IIRC regimental drummers acted kind of like metronomes didn't they? Performing signals and such for the ranks |
17:43.41 | DrodoEmpire | Right, which is why I can see why they may abandon it at the earliest opportunity |
17:43.47 | DrodoEmpire | Sort of, yes |
17:44.00 | Xho | That being said they may have used music in their ancient societies |
17:44.09 | DrodoEmpire | They set the pacing for a march, and different beats and sounds transmitted different orders from the officer |
17:44.11 | Xho | But that's going back 725,000 years or so |
17:44.16 | DrodoEmpire | Right |
17:44.45 | Monet | It could be their military music is quite different. |
17:44.49 | DrodoEmpire | Well |
17:45.08 | DrodoEmpire | Its also been 725000 years since they probably *had* to use musical instruments |
17:45.12 | Xho | If they do have music in their military it's certainly not for the Kicath |
17:45.16 | Monet | ImpyDroid: There could have been spodists in the DI for millennia. |
17:45.23 | DrodoEmpire | That's a long time to lose an old tradition |
17:45.31 | DrodoEmpire | To be perfectly fair |
17:45.37 | Xho | The concept of aliens using music to the Kicath is like a toddler banging about on a xylophone |
17:46.13 | Xho | They don't understand why they're doing it nor do they consider it particularly pleasant to hear |
17:46.26 | DrodoEmpire | Ah |
17:46.36 | ImpyDroid | Xho: Radeon - kek *plays organ in front of a Kicath* |
17:46.42 | DrodoEmpire | ayy lmao |
17:46.47 | Xho | 99% of any musical output from the Kicath is from one of their protectorates |
17:48.08 | Hachiman | I imagine that Kicath aren't particularly good at composing complex pieces of music given that they have no strong cultural ties to it |
17:48.19 | Hachiman | Probably one of the things that species like humans do better than them |
17:48.22 | Tek0516 | Of course that military marching could have just been as minimal as rythmic drumming or such. |

17:50.36 | DrodoEmpire | I imagine other species like the humans or Drodo would certainly embellish their marching tunes more, and hold to them for longer- the Koniggratzer marsch comes to mind in that regard |
17:51.11 | Tek0516 | More complex military music does have the advantage of being usually more inspiring of course. |
17:51.25 | DrodoEmpire | Perhaps yeah |
17:51.57 | DrodoEmpire | Morale and psychological warfare is really the majority *of* warfare |
17:52.40 | Hachiman | ImpyDroid: dwarf instruments name them nao |
17:52.42 | dino82_ | hi |
17:53.42 | OluapPlayer | mining pick, large mining pick, small mining pick, mining pick on a string |
17:53.49 | Xho | That probably implies that psychological warfare doesn't work on the Kicath |
17:54.18 | DrodoEmpire | I don't see how that's possible |
17:54.39 | DrodoEmpire | If they have any sense of self-preservation or feelings, psychological warfare would be a thing |
17:54.47 | Xho | They don't |
17:54.48 | DrodoEmpire | They might be a lot hardier emotionally speaking |
17:54.49 | ImpyDroid | Hachiman: Diggystrrings |
17:55.02 | Xho | The Kicath's only significant feeling is anger |
17:55.03 | Hachiman | diggy diggy hole |
17:55.11 | ImpyDroid | swing swing swing with me |
17:55.16 | ImpyDroid | Swingdrums |
17:55.19 | OluapPlayer | Bit ridiculous now |
17:55.26 | DrodoEmpire | Right... |
17:55.40 | ImpyDroid | Xho: "WITHOUT A NERVOUS SYSTEM, THE ONLY THING IT CAN FEEL IS ANGER" |
17:55.52 | Monet | How does stress affect them? |
17:55.55 | Hachiman | Yes; that term applies to a fucking sea sponge hur |
17:56.10 | OluapPlayer | Except Dwarf Fortress sponges do, in fact, feel fear and terror |
17:56.16 | ImpyDroid | Kicath are secretly sea sponges |
17:56.17 | Hachiman | Huh |
17:56.22 | Xho | This is a culture that can turn from diplomacy to wrathful genocide with a flick of a switch and think the moral backlash to them is senseless whining |
17:57.06 | Xho | They haven't actually done that for at least a thousand years so probably not so much as repressed sentiments of disdain nowadays |
17:57.20 | OluapPlayer | You're not making them easy to collaborate with on the wiki with that |
17:57.35 | DrodoEmpire | Right, which makes me wonder how they build a functioning society if they're a race of repressed psychopaths >.< |
17:57.45 | DrodoEmpire | I might be misunderstanding, but... |
17:57.49 | ImpyDroid | Well admittedly I also own a race of genocidal zealots |
17:58.01 | ImpyDroid | But these are repentant genocidal zealots |
17:58.10 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
17:58.30 | ImpyDroid | The more I write about Radeons, the more I realise that they are basically space Germans |
17:58.44 | Xho | They're not really psychopathic towards each other |
17:58.47 | Monet | Drodoempire: "Repressed psychopath" sums up the Kicath nicely |
17:58.47 | Tek0516 | O.o |
17:58.54 | Cyrannian | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Msg/GEC - Anyone know how to fix the unnecessary spaces? |
17:58.59 | DrodoEmpire | ImpyDroid: SEE KALE |
17:59.07 | DrodoEmpire | <.< |
17:59.14 | OluapPlayer | Ask Jo |
17:59.23 | Xho | As a species they collectively exceptionalise themselves and measure others accordingly as to how similar they are |
17:59.32 | DrodoEmpire | Right |
17:59.54 | DrodoEmpire | But getting back to the point-- how is it that they're unaffected by the extreme emotional strain of war? |
18:00.20 | Xho | I don't see how they could be strained if they don't portray emotion in the first place |
18:00.24 | DrodoEmpire | I mean, I can see how they aren't affected by it as much and with training the elite among them especially wouldn't be affected very much |
18:01.23 | Cyrannian | If they're aliens, anything is possible |
18:01.27 | ImpyDroid | DrodoEmpire: A giant badass Holy Empire that then becomes corrupt and fractures -> genocidal maniac takes power and conquers half of the world -> nation left with a species-wide guilt complex -> split into two -> reunites to form a smaller and relatively non-aggressive and still kind of dickish state |
18:01.32 | DrodoEmpire | Actually here's a good question |
18:01.37 | DrodoEmpire | Were Kicath predatory? |
18:01.40 | Xho | Yes |
18:01.42 | ImpyDroid | Holy shit, Radeons ARE German |
18:01.48 | DrodoEmpire | Right, that probably has a lot to do with it |
18:02.11 | ImpyDroid | Oh and they do not like the French |
18:02.11 | DrodoEmpire | Humans aren't naturally predatory, so when our survival instincts are tuned more to panic and run as opposed to stand and fight |
18:02.21 | DrodoEmpire | *so our |
18:02.24 | Xho | With their general build and fuck-off-esque looks, if they weren't predatorial it would be a disservice |
18:02.39 | DrodoEmpire | Cyrannian: That's a bit of a handwave, I like to get to the bottom of things personally |
18:02.52 | DrodoEmpire | Right, makes sense |
18:02.58 | Xho | It's actually been 175,000 years worth of interspecies communication that has made them adapt better |
18:03.05 | Xho | I mean they're still dickheads now but |
18:03.09 | Xho | They're amenable to reason nowadays |

18:11.08 | Xho | "A pink peppercorn saison barrel aged in red wine barrels then blended on top of fresh passionfruit and hibiscus. A yearly release which builds a lot of excitement around the brewery in the run up to brewing and blending." |
18:11.15 | Xho | Basically I can't tell whether it tasted like ale or cider |
18:11.21 | Xho | But it was nice and freakishly strong |
18:11.37 | dino82_ | lol |
18:11.40 | dino82_ | I recenlty tried honey rum |

21:34.51 | DrodoEmpire | I'm... Astounded at how much you've got done o.O |
21:35.50 | Hachiman | I suck at Stellaris so I kinda just stopped playing it hur |
21:36.10 | Xho | To me it looks like a space version of Civ |
21:36.20 | DrodoEmpire | No, not really |
21:36.52 | DrodoEmpire | Its a space version of a Paradox Grand Strategy game, which can't *really* be compared to Civ |
21:37.14 | DrodoEmpire | Its real-time as opposed to turn-based most importantly |
21:37.34 | Xho | hngh |
21:37.41 | Xho | A bit too long-winded for me then |
21:37.57 | DrodoEmpire | You can pause at any time and it flows ten times better than turn-based games <.< |
21:38.02 | DrodoEmpire | imo anyway |
21:38.11 | Xho | Charles_Murray: "No Franco-Kicath alliance exists at present." Kitravasuron - i hope that's conjecture |
21:38.56 | Charles_Murray | Hm? |
21:39.22 | Xho | I was under the impression there was a Franco-Kicathian alliance |
21:39.58 | Charles_Murray | Wat |
21:39.59 | Charles_Murray | When |
21:40.01 | Charles_Murray | How |
21:40.02 | Charles_Murray | Who |
21:40.27 | Charles_Murray | Have I been Avalotur'd? |
21:40.40 | Xho | You've confused me now |
21:40.45 | Charles_Murray | Ditto |
21:41.11 | Xho | On the UDB there was that statement from France saying there's no alliance between France and the Kicath |
21:41.14 | Charles_Murray | I might have just forgotten, but as far as I know France and the Kicath have never signed a formal treaty of alliance |
21:41.18 | Xho | ah |
21:41.25 | Xho | Hm well they probably should have |
21:41.39 | Charles_Murray | They have a strong 'entente,' that's definitely true |
21:41.39 | Xho | I guess with the Avalotur Covenant that won't happen |
21:41.53 | Charles_Murray | Not yet, at least |
21:42.12 | Xho | Man that Covenant really did screw the Kicath over |
21:42.16 | Xho | Cyrannian: thnx |
21:42.41 | Cyrannian | I thought you suggested it hur |
21:42.47 | Charles_Murray | The only things standing in the way of such an alliance are (1) the Covenant and (2) the Kicath's recent moves in Mirus which have upset states in Mirus with whom France absolutely needs good relations |
21:43.07 | Xho | I did |
21:43.16 | Xho | Doesn't mean I was aware of the consequences |
21:43.43 | Xho | There's a reason why Santorakh is the author avatar |
21:44.03 | Monet | It might have been more on the Empire's part for treating the covenant as a right to believe it was a gigaquadrant space police. |
21:44.27 | Imperios | Cyrannian: Wait, since then was the Imperial Senate disbanded |
21:44.36 | Charles_Murray | Imperios : Just now |
21:44.48 | Xho | Cyrannian: The way it's looking for the Kicath, the Covenant is going to have to break under its own pressure |
21:47.03 | Tek0516 | DrodoEmpire: I got lucky with a big empty space which had both FEs on either end. Noone else got in and I conquered the couple empires that could have entered the region. |
21:47.23 | Cyrannian | I'm not sure what we both had in mind for it at the beginning anyway |
21:47.25 | Tek0516 | Oh, and a destroyed ringworld early on that gave me +25 engineering. >.> |
21:47.29 | DrodoEmpire | Ah |
21:47.39 | DrodoEmpire | So you got pretty lucky |
21:47.40 | Charles_Murray | Tek0516 Hnng |
21:47.43 | Cyrannian | I think it started as a pact between Kithworto and Tyrone |
21:47.56 | Cyrannian | But I'm not sure it has a lot of relevance beyond that |
21:48.09 | Xho | Not the rest of the Gigaquadrant |
21:48.21 | Xho | Everyone dislikes the Kicath now because of Kithworto's antics |
21:49.00 | Charles_Murray | Looks like there's a high cost to maintaining it, but a low cost to breaking it |
21:49.46 | Xho | Depends on how the Empire would take if the Kicath wanted to back track on it |
21:50.43 | Imperios | Xho: Kithworto - I'm just a poor boy nobody loves me |
21:51.07 | Xho | Santorakh - bullshit |

23:25.57 | *** join/#sporewiki Liquid_Ink (79d0cd9d@gateway/web/freenode/ip.121.208.205.157) |
23:26.40 | Imperios | Male |
23:26.44 | Imperios | Hi Ink |
23:27.04 | Liquid_Ink | Hello |
23:27.21 | Monet | Tanus Karenis Vosavion |
23:28.05 | Imperios | Right, changed |
23:28.07 | Imperios | Now reed plz |
23:28.38 | OluapPlayer | Also as a suggestion perhaps we could make the Divinarium and Indoc participations in the war closely linked |
23:28.49 | OluapPlayer | To compensate for all the time they didn't interact |
23:28.53 | Imperios | I imagine they are both very much focused on the Chosen |
23:29.06 | Imperios | Holy shit I just realised |
23:29.20 | OluapPlayer | The Chosen is the arch-enemy of the Indocs in the war so yes |
23:29.29 | OluapPlayer | are* |
23:30.27 | Imperios | Xho OluapPlayer: You know what is Japanese for North Korea? |
23:30.34 | Imperios | Kita-Chosen |
23:30.39 | Imperios | >Chosen |
23:30.45 | Xho | I was aware |
23:31.02 | OluapPlayer | kim jon rodir |
23:31.13 | OluapPlayer | or dim, I forget |
23:31.41 | Xho | something |
23:31.52 | Imperios | OluapPlayer: I imagine Venoriel's arc in the new war storyline will be mostly "find Geltastra and kill her" |
23:32.34 | OluapPlayer | Geltastra - >being stalked by a girl with huge knackers in the new canon i'm okay with this |
23:33.31 | Hachiman | What's this about huge knackers |
23:33.34 | Imperios | Xho: Its short name in Korean itself is even better |
23:33.36 | Imperios | Pukhan |
23:33.45 | Imperios | Poo Khan |
23:33.57 | Xho | You know you're ragging on your own culture right |
23:34.47 | Imperios | Yes |
23:34.58 | Imperios | Though Poo Khan sounds more Indian to me |
23:35.29 | Imperios | Hachiman: Venoriel's huge knockers |
23:35.36 | Imperios | Also reed Venoriel's inner monologue |
23:35.44 | OluapPlayer | I can picture Venoriel being rude to Baptarion and insult whatever empire he's serving in until a Dracogonarious official shows up and tells her off |
23:35.50 | Monet | Imperios: The Divinarium-Draconis conflict of the Andromeda War makes more sense when there have been engagements of such i nthe past |
23:36.37 | Imperios | Monet: Yeah, though we are talking ancient history here |
23:36.50 | Imperios | The conflict Venoriel mentions happened during the Khaxvis Dynasty, so a while ago |
23:38.00 | Monet | Remember Draconis are fond of history. |
23:39.13 | Imperios | True that, and so are Radeons |
23:39.32 | Imperios | Speaking of which, what would be the family emblem of the Khaxvis when they were in power? Same as now except no flames? |
23:39.45 | Monet | Pretty much. |
23:40.41 | Monet | Her monologue certainly weights how boring her post is |
23:42.22 | Imperios | It is very likely that nobody can stand her so she gets reassigned to posts like that |
23:43.01 | Monet | Actually it could be a nod at one of the drawbacks ot automation. |
23:43.16 | Imperios | Hm? |
23:43.30 | Monet | The drones get to do all the fun exploration. |
23:47.36 | Imperios | That too |
23:48.29 | Monet | So mining or prospecting in the divinarium involves watching a screen and monitoring numbers all day |
23:49.04 | Imperios | Mass Effect 2-style? |
23:50.56 | OluapPlayer | Venoriel - here is my loyalty mission Vekaron - SKIPPED |
23:51.12 | Xho | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsoDxdzth1M Wiki needs a character like Krieger |
23:56.59 | Xho | That does mean aforemetioned character would have a holographic anime girlfriend |
23:57.23 | Hachiman | Hachi |
23:57.51 | DrodoEmpire | ey laymo |
23:58.05 | Xho | Well just without the psychotic doctor side |
